A couple years back I became familiar with a group…a family out of NYC…the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players…I love them…they are corky, offbeat and if I am not mistaken…on hiatus while the daughter of the group, Rachel, stars in her own KIDS SHOW…look out…I bet she ends up on TV soon.
This lady thinks that John McCain has a lot in common with Jesus…which we all do…She says she is not comparing McCain to Jesus…but is she comparing the United States to God?
Micheal Gates Gill is the son of New Yorker writer Brendan Gill and he was a creative director at J. Walter Thompson Advertising where he was employed for over 25 years.
Michael Gates Gill did something incredibly wrong, he got older…in some peoples eyes, his age made him replaceable at the agency he worked for. He probably was, younger people would work cheaper and would be able to manufacture ideas which increases profitability for his “old boss” who unceremoniously dismissed Mr Gill at the age of 54.
For 10 years or so, Michael Gates Gill, this son of privilege and esteem with a position in society and an education from Yale University tried to go forward with his own agency until finally his calls weren’t returned. People were tired of “Old Michael Gates Gill.” At his low point, Michael sat in a Starbucks, sipping on a Latte that he could barely afford and wondered what the hell had happened to his life. He was spiraling out of control and his mind was racing when a young lady asked him a simple question…”Do you want a job?”…surprising her and himself, Michael Gates Gill said “Yes” and filled out the application to work for Starbucks.
I just finished reading the book How Starbucks Saved My Life: A Son of Privilege Learns to Live Like Everyone Else and found myself nodding along in agreement with the words of how Starbucks allows those of us who have slipped through the cracks, either by our own undoing or at the hands of some other element to look at ourselves with self respect, confidence most importantly hope.
My name is Marty Daniels. I am a Stand Up Comedian and Voice Over Talent who is grateful to also be a partner at Starbucks in Grove City, OH.
I know he is the GOP candidate and Obama is likely the DNC candidate. I like McCain, will I vote for him or Obama? Depends on who the VP candidates are.
